Temperatures are expected to bounce from above normal to seasonable and back to above normal through this week.
“A cold front will usher in increased cloud cover and cooler temperatures for Monday and Tuesday before above normal temperatures return after mid-week,” according to a Monday morning National Weather Service (NWS) advisory. “Some areas may be approaching (a) record high into late week.”
